TECHNICAL ENGLISH WRITING

Time: Three Hours] [Maximum Marks: 50

Note: Attempt any five questions. All questions carry equal marks.

1. Read the following passage and answer the questions in own words:

A child walks by nature and without training; nevertheless we delight to give the child encouragement to practice his first steps. A child climbs naturally, but a child of two may need to be taught how to perform the complicated process of climbing into a high chair, not speak of the still more complicated process of climbing down again. Every normal child has capacity to be sociable, but whether he develops sociable attitudes depends on the environment in which he is brought up and the practice he is given. Not only practice is required.
